TORONTO (May 13, 1995) - At a meeting chaired by Fp president Robert Metz, leaders of the various lobby and educational groups who first met in January (see article in April 1995 Freedom Flyer), voted to accept an informal name under which they could meet to discuss common goals and concerns without sacrificing their own separate agendas and identities. After much discussion and a round of votes, the name agreed upon was "The Montgomery Tavern Society," in reference to the 1837 meeting place for rebel leaders called the Montgomery Tavern, just north of (then) Toronto.
The name choice (suggested by John Thompson of the Mackenzie Institute), coupled with agreement on other organizational matters discussed at the meeting, have cleared the way for the groups to work together in greater harmony on an ongoing basis. The next meeting, the fourth since January and the first under the new name, is planned for September of 1995.
